TempDir

Simple Elixir Library for creating self-cleaning temp directory folders.

Example

iex(1)> {:ok, dir} = TempDir.start_link
{:ok, #PID<0.121.0>}

iex(2)> TempDir.get_path(dir)
"/tmp/elixir-47776-630886-4"

There are a couple options you can use when calling TempDir.start_link

• :dir_prefix - The directory prefix of the temporary dir. (Default: "elixir")
• :tmp_dir - The location in which the temporary dir is created. (Default: "/tmp")

iex(1)> {:ok, dir} = TempDir.start_link(dir_prefix: "test")
{:ok, #PID<0.108.0>}

iex(2)> TempDir.get_path(dir)
"/tmp/test-47988-226661-1"

Installation

1. Add tempdir to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do

    [{:tempdir, "~> 0.0.1"}]

   end

2. Ensure tempdir is started before your application:

   def application do

    [applications: [:tempdir]]

   end
